First, a challenge has been issued to me and I have accepted, though rather reluctantly. I am going to write in my blog, every day, for a month. The month of March is blog month for me. This means a couple of things. I am going to go against my previous entry regarding consistency and make this thing a total free-for-all. Mostly, I will be writing about entertainment: music, movies, and tv, as well as some Apple related stuff and whatever else comes to my head. So as Tobias would say, “Let the great experiment begin!”

The Constant. Wow. Many have said it, but I certainly agree, the best Lost episode ever. I really started to lose hope last year when the producers said that we actually wanted to see the nauseating love triangle that was Jack/Kate/Sawyer. If I wanted to watch that crap I would watch the stories. No this was something special. Finally, they got back to blowing our brains all over the living room wall. Time space continuum, how could you go wrong. It really started for me when Daniel Faraday, played by Jeremy Davies, conducted a test by having a missile shot off from the freighter and timing how long it took to reach the island. When it finally struck down, he was perplexed at the amount of time it took. This certainly sparked my interest. It did what discovering the hatch or first seeing the others did, made me ask a million questions. This is what makes Lost a great show. The Dharma Intiative, the others, polar bears, the stuff that makes no sense but then all makes sense somehow. It is one of the last examples of good television that still remains.

I must say I really enjoy Jeffery Davies as Dan, the eccentric professor from Oxford. He pulls the character off flawlessly. Oddly enough, the very things that make me enjoy his character so much, are some of the things that drove me crazy about his character in Saving Private Ryan. At some point in that movie, I was hoping some German would just do us all a favor and shoot him. However, the coy, odd head twitches, really sell his character. Sure he is weird, but he is brilliant. I can’t wait to see what they do with his character, because it is a gem.

If you have wandered away from the show, or never watched it in the first place, you owe it to yourself to get caught up and have a solid reason to turn on the TV before April (when new episodes return to such classics as The Office). Besides, the early seasons are just as good and mind blowing.
